Jonathan Rogers Park improvements

Key improvements

Key improvements currently being explored include:

  • A renewed playground designed for children of all ages and abilities
  • A fenced dog off-leash area
  • Improved site accessibility

The project will also keep the community garden and open space for recreation, socializing, and community events.

Jonathan Rogers Park is a 1.4-hectare neighbourhood park in Mount Pleasant. The park serves an increasingly dense area with limited green space and requires updates to meet future demand while remaining welcoming and accessible for all.

We are planning improvements to the eastern half of the park, focusing on amenities and accessibility. The improvements will follow inclusive design principles and support safety, climate resilience, and sustainability.

The park was identified as a priority for improvements through several city-wide plans and strategies.
